Cant wait for this - the artwork gives a beautiful insight into how different minds work, from extremely literal to impossibly abstract.
To give our participants more agency we’ll be hearing from them directly,
including non speaking people, and professional artists.

Israel and Hamas have reached an agreement for an exchange of Israeli hostages in Gaza for Palestinian prisoners.
